Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for depositing silicon oxide on a solid moving substrate, in particular a substrate of polymeric substance, more especially a polyolefin.
  • Polymeric films such as polyolefins are commonly used in the packaging industry. However, these materials have surface properties which make them unsuitable for adhesion and wetting. Their low wettability, due to their chemical inertness, makes it difficult to spread adhesives and inks.
  • the performance of polyolefin films can be improved by depositing a small amount of silicon oxide on their surface.
  • the documents WO-A-92/11312, in the name of L'Air Liquide SA describes a process according to which a substrate of polymer material is subjected to an electric discharge with a dielectric barrier at a pressure greater than 10,000 Pa, and, simultaneously or subsequently, the substrate thus treated is exposed to an atmosphere containing a silane.
  • a deposit of silicon oxide is formed by reaction of the silane with the residual oxygen present on the surface of the substrate or in the treatment atmosphere, or also by post-oxidation of the deposit of silicon when the substrate is brought back into contact with the air.
  • deposition of silicon oxide is meant a deposition of silicon dioxide which may also contain a silicon oxide substoichiometric in oxygen.
  • the substrate When performing on-line processing (roll-to-roll), the substrate passes through a station where it is subjected to electrical discharge and exposed to the silane atmosphere.
  • the amount of air (boundary layer) entrained by the substrate in the station directly depends on the speed of travel. When you change the speed, the residual oxygen content varies, as do the deposition parameters.
  • Poor control of the atmosphere may also lead to a reaction of the silane with the oxygen in the gaseous phase outside the active zone with the appearance of silica particles which will deposit on the substrate or the walls of the treatment station (fouling ).
  • the present invention aims to solve these problems, and to provide a method for obtaining substrates provided with a deposit of silicon oxide having a regularity greater than that obtained hitherto.
  • the invention provides a method for creating a deposit of silicon oxide on a solid moving substrate, according to which the substrate is subjected to an electric discharge with a dielectric barrier in the presence of an atmosphere containing a silane, this atmosphere being at a pressure greater than 10,000 Pa, characterized in that an atmosphere of controlled composition containing a silane and oxygen or a gas capable of providing oxygen, as well as a carrier gas, and means are used to substantially prevent any entrainment of oxygen other than that constituting said atmosphere in said zone.
  • silane means a compound in gaseous form in the pressure and temperature conditions used, and including at least one silicon atom.
  • a silane according to the invention can therefore consist of a silicon hydride of formula Si n H 2n + 2 , n being an integer usually between 1 and 5, a halogenated silicon hydride, such SiC1 4 , SiH 2 C1 2 , SiH 3 CI, SiHC1 3 , an alkoxysilane such as tetraethoxysilane or another organosiloxane, such as hexamethyldisiloxane.
  • Silicon hydrides such as SiH 4 , or Si 2 H s are preferred. SiH 4 is very particularly preferred.
  • Dielectric barrier electric discharge treatment consists in producing an electric discharge between two electrodes, at least one of which is covered with a dielectric material, such as glass, alumina or silica, or, if appropriate, the substrate to be treated.
  • a dielectric material such as glass, alumina or silica, or, if appropriate, the substrate to be treated.
  • Such treatment is conventional and known in itself. It can in particular consist in a luminescent discharge or "if slow glow discharge” or, preferably, in a crown discharge, well known in itself, see for example the article "The flexible adaptation of the effective contact surface", E. Prinz, published in "Plastics Southern Africa", June 1983, pages 50 and following.
  • the electric discharge with a dielectric barrier is advantageously carried out at a pressure between 50,000 and 120,000 Pa, and preferably at atmospheric pressure, the temperature preferably being ambient, or, generally, between ambient and melting temperature. of the treated substrate.
  • the duration of contact of the substrate treated by the electrical discharge with the atmosphere containing the silane is not critical and can in particular be chosen as a function of the thickness of the deposit of silicon oxide desired. As an indication, it can range from 10- 3 seconds to 1 minute or more.
  • the method of the invention can be implemented in line with the installation (by extrusion or extrusion-blowing for example) for manufacturing a substrate made of polymer material, or be implemented on a substrate manufactured and stored before treatment.
  • the substrate can be for example a sheet, or a film.
  • the thickness of the substrate is generally not critical and can for example be between 5 ⁇ m and 2 cm, more particularly between 10 and 200 ⁇ m.
  • the method of the invention is useful for treating substrates made of various natural or synthetic materials but also for treating metallic substrates, in particular metallic sheets such as aluminum sheets.
  • metallic substrates in particular metallic sheets such as aluminum sheets.
  • a natural material mention may be made of cellulose, the treated substrate then being able to be made of paper or cardboard.
  • the substrates made of synthetic polymer material are preferred in the context of the present invention. Among the latter, the most advantageous are made of thermoplastic material, in particular polyolefin, such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide, polyvinyl chloride or polycarbonate. Polyolefin substrates are very particularly preferred in the context of the present invention.
  • the gas capable of supplying oxygen must be able to supply oxygen by decomposition under the effect of electric discharge; i is advantageously chosen from nitrous oxide (N 2 0), nitrogen monoxide (NO) or carbon dioxide (CO2). It is also possible to use water vapor (H 2 0) or methanol (CH 3 0H). This list is not exhaustive and may include other gases or non-gaseous molecules capable of providing elemental oxygen.
  • Another advantageous gas is simply molecular oxygen, which can be contained in air or in air enriched or depleted in oxygen.
  • the carrier gas must be inert with respect to the silane. It can be chosen from the group consisting of nitrogen, helium, argon, neon, krypton and xenon.
  • a mixture is prepared in advance containing the silane and the oxygen or the gas capable of supplying oxygen, and this mixture is introduced into the zone where the electric discharge occurs.
  • silane and the oxygen must be mixed just before being introduced into the zone where the electrical discharge occurs.
  • the mixing can therefore be done in a supply line.
  • silane and oxygen or the gas capable of supplying oxygen are introduced separately into the zone where the electric discharge occurs.
  • the first operating mode ensures a more homogeneous composition of the atmosphere in the electric discharge zone than the second operating mode.
  • it increases the risk of incidents due to an uncontrolled reaction between the silane and the oxygen or the gas capable of supplying oxygen. It is therefore to be avoided if reactive substances, in particular molecular oxygen, are used.
  • the term “controlled atmosphere” is understood more particularly to mean an atmosphere in which the contents of silane and of oxygen or gas capable of supplying oxygen are predetermined.
  • the silane content in this atmosphere can be between 0.01 and 5% by volume.
  • the ratio between the flow rates of silane and of oxygen or gas capable of supplying oxygen is not critical, but, preferably, it is such that the proportion of silane is less than the stoichiometric proportion corresponding to obtaining of silicon dioxide.
  • the SiH 4 / N 2 O ratio is usually between 1 and 50, and preferably between 2 and 10.
  • the means that can be used to substantially prevent any oxygen entrainment other than the oxygen possibly constituting the atmosphere in the zone where the electrical discharge occurs are more particularly intended to prevent the entrainment of air by the moving substrate.
  • These means consist in particular of airlocks, suction lines fitted with pumps or fans, or mechanical means such as brushes or rollers between which the substrate runs. These means can be arranged upstream and downstream of said zone.
  • the running speed of the solid substrate is usually greater than 1 meter per minute, preferably between 30 and 800 meters per minute.
  • the arrangement described makes it possible to avoid, or at least to limit to the minimum, any entrainment of air in the electrical discharge zone, and thus to ensure high stability of the controlled composition.
  • the injection pipe or pipes are connected to a single supply pipe for the mixture containing silane and oxygen or a gas capable of forming oxygen. not reacting with the silane under the treatment conditions, in the absence of the electrical discharge, or that the device comprises at least two injection conduits, one of which is connected to a source of gas containing silane and the other to a source of oxygen or gas capable of supplying oxygen capable of reacting with said silane under the same conditions.
  • the type of electrode used for the implementation of the invention may consist of any electrode conventionally used for the formation of an electric discharge with a dielectric barrier, of geometry giving rise to an electrode section, for example circular, or even square or rectangular.
  • the electrodes can thus be made of non-oxidizable metals such as anodized aluminum, titanium or preferably stainless steel, or of ceramic (preferably alumina), or a glass.
  • FIG. 1 shows a treatment device 1 which is crossed, for example, by a strip of polyolefin to be treated 2, in the direction of arrow 3.
  • the strip 2 is carried by a counter-electrode constituted by a drum 4, which rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow 3. Above the counter-electrode 4 is disposed a support 5 which holds the electrodes 6 so as to leave between these electrodes and the counter electrode, an interval 7 of well defined thickness, a little more than the thickness of the strip 2.
  • the electrodes 6 are connected to a very high voltage and high frequency source 8, while the counter electrode is grounded.
  • the support 5 is traversed by an injection pipe 9 connected to a source 10 of nitrogen mixture, forming the carrier gas and silane, and a source 11 for example of a mixture of N 2 0 and nitrogen ( or even oxygen or a gas capable of supplying oxygen), via a common supply conduit 12.
  • Control means 13, 14 are provided for measuring and regulating the flow of sources 10 and 11.

  • the injection and suction conduits are constituted by transverse slots, the length of which is at least equal to the width of the strip 2.
  • FIG. 2 shows a variant of the arrangement described in FIG. 1.
  • the variant essentially consists in the fact that the injection pipe 9 of FIG. 1 is replaced by two injection pipes 20, 21, one connected to one source 22 of a mixture of silane and neutral gas, argon or nitrogen, and the other to a source 23 of a mixture of air, or another oxidizing gas, and neutral gas, air or nitrogen.
  • the respective proportions of silane and oxygen are controlled using devices 24, 25, interposed on the conduits 20, 21.
  • the two conduits 20 and 21 open in the vicinity of the strip 2, a little upstream of the electrodes 6, between the suction conduits 16 and 17.

  • Figure 5 is a schematic representation of a variant of the device of Figure 2, for which the two gas mixtures are introduced directly into the space between the electrode system and the counter electrode.
